Chemoheterotrophic bacteria use a few central metabolic pathways for carbon catabolism and energy production as well as for the generation of the main precursors for anabolic reactions. All sources… (More)

Bacillus subtilis assimilates ammonium by the concerted action of glutamine synthetase and glutamate synthase. The expression of the gltAB operon encoding the latter enzyme is impaired in B. subtilis… (More)

Glycolysis is one of the main pathways of carbon catabolism in Bacillus subtilis. Expression of the gapA gene encoding glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase, the key enzyme of glycolysis from an… (More)

Glycolysis is one of the central routes of carbon catabolism in Bacillus subtilis. Several glycolytic enzymes, including the key enzyme glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase, are encoded in the… (More)
